电影《断背山》的插曲,翻唱的是60年代乡村音乐巨匠罗格-米勒(Roger Miller)的名作《公路之王》(King of the Road)。——一首人在旅途的歌。没有电话,没有泳池,没有宠物,一辆能卖也能租的拖车,一个穷途末路又无所不能的男人。“我知道每一辆火车上的每一位机械师,以及他们的孩子,他们孩子的名字。我知道每一个村庄的刊物,以及周围没人的时候,哪扇门是没上锁的”……

King Of The Road  
Rufus Wainwright


Trailers for sale or rent. Rooms to let fifty cents
No phone, no pool, no pets. I ain't got no cigarettes
Ah, but two hours of pushing broom.
Buys an eight by twelve four-bit room
I'm a man of means by no means. King of the road


Third boxcar, midnight train. Destination...bangor, Maine
Old worn out suit and shoes. I don't pay no union dues
I smoke old stogies I have found. Short, but not too big around
I'm a man of means by no means. King of the road


I know every engineer on every train
All of their children, and all of their names
And every handout 1 in every town
And every lock that ain't locked when no one's around


I sing,
Trailers for sale or rent. Rooms to let fifty cents
No phone, no pool, no pets. I ain't got no cigarettes
Ah, but two hours of pushing broom
Buys an eight by twelve four-bit room
I'm a man of means by no means. King of the road
